for me this song is about someone you know in real life and how they can be so different in your dreams. the subconscious mind paints them in the most beautiful way... you dream about them in the way that you ideally perceive them and your interactions with each other. at one point i was a psychology major and i learned that the subconscious mind can't lie to you the way the conscious mind can. consciously people are sorting through details, senses, and feelings and trying to interpret exactly what it is that they want (so human). the subconscious mind doesn't have this issue, because beneath the humanity of it all everyone needs exactly the same thing from a relationship... to be loved, supported, and have a definite sense of companionship. i'm gonna be honest i haven't heard this song but i love of montreal and i was just clicking around on their lyrics when i found it. it struck me in the weirdest way cause i had a moment just like this last night... waking up to see that that person (or all the people in your life) don't meet that standard. it's really disturbing. when you're in that dream it's like bliss and there aren't any problems, you just understand each other and everything that's going on. it's like pure love. and then to be ripped from that and find yourself searching for it again in a world full of people that are lost and searching for it as well... ugh.
